This is why people who grow long hair seem to have a functional limit of how long it will grow, though chin hair is slightly different than head hair. You will want to curate a healthy hair regimen for your beard. This means getting some appropriate product for your manly chin and keeping that hair healthy and the roots strong. I don't know enough about it chemically to say what exactly would be helpful, but the concepts are definitely sound science, so do your research for your skin and hair type (and eating habits may play a part there) and don't trust any hair dressers, especially if they've bought into the idea that their special "licensed-only" stores are somehow more pure and holy rather than just a guild-run distribution model. I envy you in a way. This problem is surmountable, whereas my own beard is sparse and simply not valid to begin with. -Tod hansmann /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
